Practical Applications of Agile (Web) Testing Tools
Presenters
C. Titus Brown and Grig Gheorghiu
Intended audience
Advanced users.
Requirements
Python 2.5 or 2.6 installed. We'll provide media with up-to-date packages at the tutorial.
Summary
Have Web site? Need testing? Bring your tired (code), huddled (unit tests), and cranky AJAX to us; we'll help you come up with tactics, techniques, and infrastructure to help solve your problems. This includes integration with a unit test runner (nose); use of coverage analysis (figleaf); straight HTTP driver Web testing (twill); Web recording, examination, and playback (scotch); Selenium and Selenium RC test script development; and continuous integration (buildbot). We will focus on techniques for automating your Web testing for quick turnaround, i.e. "agile" test automation.
